plot.mob: Visualization of MOB Trees

Description

plot method for mob objects with extended facilities for plugging in panel functions.

Usage

# S3 method for mob
plot(x, terminal_panel = node_bivplot, tnex = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x

an object of class mob.

terminal_panel

a panel function or panel-generating function of class "grapcon_generator". See plot.BinaryTree for more details.

tnex

a numeric value giving the terminal node extension in relation to the inner nodes.

...

further arguments passed to plot.BinaryTree.

Details

This plot method for mob objects simply calls the plot.BinaryTree method, setting a different terminal_panel function by default (node_bivplot) and tnex value.

## use the breaks from hist() instead
plot(fmPID, tp_args = list(fivenum = FALSE))
## user-defined breaks

## CD plots instead of spinograms
